This route description also details a simple and easy access to the challenging slot canyon known as Chambers in Robbers Roost.

General Information:
Lost Angel is a technical canyoneering route that requires complete technical gear. This canyon is accessible year round unless there is snow on the ground. Lost Angel is rated 3A II using the Canyon Rating System. A GPS is useful. Good map reading skills are essential.

There are no bolted anchors in this canyon, let's preserve this feature. Many canyoneers before you have descended this canyon without placing bolts, so please play fair. You might need to locate and construct natural anchors, which should be considered part of the game. Instead of placing bolts might I suggest teamwork and partner assisted techniques. The problem solving involved with using natural anchor and teamwork is considered to be a major part of the adventure with this route.

Trailhead Information:
The Lost Angel Trailhead is located near Hanksville, Utah. A passenger car should be able to access this trailhead in normal conditions.

Full Meal Deal:
Combining Lost Angel and Chambers into a single route makes for a nice day and allows easy passenger vehicle access to Chambers without having to drive deep into the heart of Robbers Roost with a four-wheel-drive. Chambers is for experienced canyoneers only and is rated 3A II R using the Canyon Rating System.
